A proxy server for Iran

Submitted by meecect on Sat, 06/20/2009 - 10:24am

I've been following the unfolding events in Iran closely since a little before the election. Today I decided to set up a proxy server to help the citizens there stay connected to the world community.


Here are the steps I took in case you would like to do the same. BE CAREFUL! You don't want to run an open-to-the-world proxy server, and even locking it down to just the Iranian IP blocks puts your server at a small risk. I provide no warranty for the following advice.

Submitted by meecect on Tue, 06/16/2009 - 8:38am

As I wrote here, QCubed is a full featured and productive PHP framework that I use often. I'd like to share with you a customization that I did to allow the easy conversion of QCubed objects into serialized JSON representations.
